QUEENSLAND POLICE DIAMOND JUBILEE SILVER MEDAL 1897, with bronze suspension, red woven ribbon. Constable T. Harrington. Chisel engraved. A few small edge nicks, otherwise nearly extremely fine.
This rare and early State award to Queensland Police, is mostly issued to officers in silver, but on occasions, the award has been noted to lower ranks who enlisted before 21 June 1887. This medal is to a Constable, serving from 1885, (with prior police service in Royal Irish Constabulary, Ireland, his birthplace) and served until 1921. Only 368 silver awards made, and perhaps only ten percent survive today, mostly in institutions. With copy of service record showing attained rank of Sergeant 1 January 1920.
